Royal Botanical Gardens

Every couple of years S and I go to the botanical gardens in Burlington.  The RGB is the pinnacle of gardening and is well worth a visit.  Throughout the year they hold events such as a; lilac festival, rose garden, etc.  This year we decided to go to the rose garden at the beginning of July.  We both needed a break from the work we'd been doing and I was recovering from a kidney stone event, so this trip cheered us up no end.  We took a picnic for lunch with thermoses for tea rather than the stove.  A few years back we did take the stove and left quite the scorch mark on the grass, which I'm glad to say, has grown back with barely a trace.  I can't say too much about the beauty of the gardens; it's truly something you have to discover for yourself.  In the meantime, here's a few photos.
